    Who cares?

    My first thoughts upon reading the headline were the same as most of the letter writers before me. Who the fuck cares about Israel, shouldn't we be asking who's best for the U.S? I wish Salon would publish an enlightening article on why Israel matters to us, because I'm sure that articles like this one aren't written for absolutely no reason.
